    I use templates for making toy cars that I donate. I cut them from scraps so having a pattern to trace around is easier than printing one. I often cut 30 plus in a day

    90 deg exactly for blade to table or side pressure nost likely. Excess front to back blade aggressiveness can also cause it.

    Mineral oil and bees wax mixed 50/50 applied a safe, satin like finish. Make by carefully melting the wax in warmed mineral oil. Allow to sat, apply, wipe off excess. More info at wood toy plans website.

    I have a zero clearance table on my saw from plexiglass, I also use it for tracing patterns so I can see the grain

    Wooden teddy bear bought Mike's business.

    Any side pressure can also cause that.

    Brenda, any 3/4" wood would work fine. Poplar cuts easily but has a much better appearance than pine.

    Check the mfr website for Olsen, pegas, the maker of flying dutchman (I know bearwoods Carrie's them). You have more patience than i.

    Think about the difference in say a #1 blade and a #7. The 7 is more aggressive than the 1 now wh as t if that 1 cut like the 7. Obviously exaggeration to make a point but that is how I think of blade aggressiveness.

    Sad day

    Very sorry to hear of your loss. We love our fur babies and the loss is often more than when we lose our human friends. I still miss ones that have been gone for many years.

    That last one would have been nice to know before going to best buy.

    I love mine. Just wish it didn't wobble a little bit. The newer design should eliminate the problem. I do a lot of oversize fretwork and it works easier than my dremel plunge router and takes smaller bits also.

    Try searching "solid surface" not just Corian. Corian is a trademark name for the stuff there are several makers. Some time ago there was a website that sold cutoffs but I don't remember the name. There is a huge difference in cutting Plexiglas/lexan and cutting solid surface materials.

    Test your finishes on a piece of scrap to find the look YOU like. I would use a clear spray finish After testing on scrap.

    Paint on rubber or tar on the in ground part will SLOW rot for some time.

    Virtually hand made Ernie passed away several years ago. New price was 1700. 1500 seems a little high, they are good saws.

    A piece of hardboard that covers the entire table with a hole for the blade. Hold in place with 2 side tape.

    Check out rick Hutchinson's site. Scrollsaws. Com under miniature projects. I've seen him cut those no pattern.
